The nation's mayors and county officials are increasingly turning to national service as a cost-effective strategy to addroess local challenges. By unleashing the power of citizens, AmeriCorps and Senior Corps programs have a positive and lasting impact - making our cities and counties better places to live. To spotlight the impact of national service and thank those who serve, mayors and county officials will participate in the fifth-annual Mayor and County Recognition Day for National Service on April 4, 2017.

On this day, mayors and county officials will hold public events and use traditional and social media to highlight the value of national service to the nation's cities and counties. Last year, 3,539 elected officials representing more than 178 million American citizens participated in the fourth-annual Mayor and County Recogniaiton Day for National Services. The initiative is being led by the National League of Cities, National Association of Counties, Cities of Service, and the Corporation for National and Community Service.
